I think I understand exactly what you're saying. But I must disagree with you about not mattering if you disappear.
I believe the whole world could change if you disappear. That's scary too. There may be a life you need to touch, a place you need to be, or something important to do. I believe that we all need to be here, and it's not good to go where we're not invited. (Not that I don't want out of this dimension myself at times...many times.)
You can also share on this board, Todd. A lot of people get into very bad spaces like it sounds like you are now. Who better to offer them a flicker of hope than someone who has come out the other side? (I expect you have come out of many other bad times, and have experience with this.)
You are a survivor. Many of us are. Bloody but unbowed. There is something important about you staying here, and I really, really hope you will.
In SLS post, he indicated that there are ways of dealing with all this withdrawal crap. I don't think I will ever get off meds, but the idea of withdrawal sure scares me. Don't go until you've tried what SLS said; you have something to teach us (whether on this topic or another one).
